What you need from the King

Librado S. Wright of HoopsWorld throws out the name Zach Randolph, as well as Jermaine O'Neal, as two guys that 76er's GM Billy King should target in the off season:

Billy King's main focus this summer is to get someone that can draw attention away from Andre Iguodala and Andre Miller on the perimeter. There are two guys that could give the 76ers that kind of muscle in the middle, but it might cost them a whole lot to acquire: Jermaine O'Neal from the Indiana Pacers and Zach Randolph from the Portland Trail Blazers.

Randolph has basically played his way out of Portland. With LaMarcus Aldridge now asserting himself as a legit player and scorer the Trail Blazers organization can afford to part ways with the sometimes troubled Randolph. Besides his off the court antics and behavior problems, Randolph is a beast in the post and would help the 76ers tremendously. His defense is questioned at times, but overall he is a solid package if you are looking for consistency.

The cost to get any one of these players?

For O'Neal it would take a lot plus some draft pick to get him in a 76ers uniform. The 76ers like the nucleus of their team and King would have to think real hard if they wanted to give away a Kyle Korver, Willie Green, Louis Williams, or Andre Miller to get the likes of a Jermaine O'Neal. Let's just say Donnie Walsh and Larry Brown would expect a lot back in return.

In Randolph's case, the Trail Blazers might not be as greedy or demanding as the Pacers would be for O'Neal. The Trail Blazers want to get better as a team and Randolph might be their ticket to get a good quality player to go along with Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge.
